All university Windows machines now use Autopilot to enroll in the UL Lafayette domain. Please follow the steps below to set up your new computer.
IMPORTANT
- These steps must be completed ONLY by the person who will be using the machine!
- Connecting to a docking station before setup is complete may cause errors. Please wait until all steps are finished.
- Connect to a Network:
- If a wired network connection is available, connect the device to the wired network.
- Power On the Device
- Check Network Connectivity:
- Once the device boots up, one of two things will occur depending on the state of network connectivity:
- If the device has network connectivity, it may reboot to apply critical security updates. After the reboot, the Autopilot process will begin.
- If the device does not have network connectivity, it will prompt you to connect to a network.
- Connect to the Internet:
- Connectivity to the Internet is required.
- If there is no network connectivity, the country/region and keyboard screens will appear. Set these settings for the network connectivity screens that follow to work properly.
- The “Let's connect you to a network” screen will appear. Either plug the device into a wired network or select and connect to a wireless Wi-Fi network.
- Proceed with Autopilot:
- Once network connectivity is established, the Next button should become available. Select Next.
- The device may reboot to apply critical security updates (if applicable). After the reboot, the Autopilot process will begin.
- Sign In:
- Once the Autopilot process begins, the Microsoft sign-in page will appear. Enter your ULID@louisiana.edu credentials and select Next to sign in. You will be prompted to use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) after signing in.
- Enrollment Status Page:
- After authenticating, the Enrollment Status Page will appear. This page displays progress during the provisioning process. This can take roughly 30 minutes to complete, depending on network speeds.
- Complete Setup:
- Once the setup process finishes, your desktop will appear. Additional applications will continue installing in the background—please allow up to 1 hour for this to complete before shutting down your device or disconnecting from the internet. One of these applications, Company Portal, allows for self-service installation of approved applications currently available.
